Two events last week made the priorities and positions of Beijing and Washington clearer. First, thousands of delegates came together for the opening of the annual Two Sessions, which includes China鈥檚 National People鈥檚 Congress and the Chinese People鈥檚 Political Consultative Conference. Second, the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party held a hearing titled 鈥淭he Chinese Communist Party鈥檚 Threat to America.鈥� Miles Yu and Wilson Shirley discuss what to make of these meetings (including what they say about Xi Jinping鈥檚 policies going forward), how the US Congress is building on the bipartisan consensus about the China challenge, and how America can respond to the most serious threat it has faced in decades.
On multiple fronts鈥攆rom ideology to the economy, to the military, to technology鈥攖he Chinese Communist Party presents the United States and its allies and partners with their most serious threat since the Cold War鈥攎aybe since World War II. What does the emerging consensus about the China challenge get right, and what is it missing? And what will it take to compete to win?
